This was flung over the Granville street bridge. A bag of of human feces, ladies and gentlemen. Yup, that is what the residents of the Granville street bridge area have resorted to...
It is important that we all understand that this is not a random act of vandalism or teenage hi-jinx... This is hate. Pure and simple. Xenophobic and gentrified in it's intent. There are people living in the best rated city in the world flinging shit at people trying to survive in the shelters below. But, as you will see, they are at war to stay open against those very inconspicuous Fecal Fiends....

Yep. I'm sure the police are doing an all out investigation to apprehend the culprits. I've lived this SHIT for over 40 years. Nothing new. Nothing surprising here. My comment didn't go, so here it is now.

Big ahock -> NOT!
Vancouver/lower mainland has slowly but surely gone to fucking hell. Mass conformists, selsh & self promoting turds, sheeople and warped homophobes galore. Sad indeed!
Not that any of this was never happening but really, just going more to shit each day. I guess there is an abundance is shit from shitheads that they need a place to throw it?
I believe those who are deeply enlightened either are so few and far between or left this shit city for "greener pastures" like the sunshine coast or the islands (gulf-etc).
Many days I feel like joining them.

Thanks for putting up this footage! I am astounded at the lack of respect towards our marginalized population!
I have posted this link of yours on our site AHA MEDIA with attribution of course... I want to get the word out over the way our shelter residents are so poorly treated!
As someone mentioned in our CCAP meeting today..."Give Homeless People Homes, Not Sh!t!!!"
Thanks for all the hard work you do!

I remember having live firecrackers thrown at me. Finding jars of skunk juice in glass containers in bins. Its messed. Now shit flingers. Fuckin retards.
Vanciuver DTES is a rough and dirty place. I have lived there myself homless and a regualer at insight. No matter what everyone is still human and whoever threw that bag of shit was throwng and exstention of them selves. I take right offence to that gesture. People have problems but the shit people are the ones tossing the bags of shit.
